Quick notes about Kapital, Identität, Macht #2, before I forget:
1. The ability to read and enjoy novels is wholly contingent. Until pretty recently intense reading was considered harmful, distorting the mind and filling it with vain, petty ideas and ideals. Oh, and separating us from the immediate experience of reality. Sound familiar?
2. Re. Geraldine at about 33’: yes. Sweden kills philosophers. The buck stops here.
